Description – 
Weisenau Mainz helmet is a Roman army Imperial helmet. The original artifact of the helmet is showcased in the Schaffhausen Museum, Switzerland. A copy of the same helmet is also showcased in the Romano-Germanic Central Museum (RGZM), Mainz. The helmet is similar to other Imperial and Gallic helmet as mentioned in the Axel Guttman collection. The original helmet is believed to be constructed of bronze metal with a tinned finish. The embossed lines at the back of the helmet and the top of the bowl are a feature on nearly all the imperial helmets. The neck guard of this particular helmet is smaller and more decorated as compared to the others. The cheek guards are also similar; the only difference is the use of brass sockets for enamel decoration.
